Sat, 15 Mar 2014 00:11:17 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2320677#comment-292279the injury to jackman on the play could have been reason to blow the whistle, but the interference with miller causing him to spin around completely was my main gripe. I guess the ref thought our defenseman pushed him into miller (which I do not believe to be the case) either way, glad jackman is okay, hope Berglund is okay, and good 3rd period blues!!!!!!!!!!!

just wish we could have played the entire game like we did the 3rd.

Fri, 14 Mar 2014 04:24:26 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2320677#comment-291984If the players could all be trusted to never, ever fake being hurt so as to get a whistle, the rule could reflect that and the refs could know that any player down on the ice for a few seconds is badly hurt and stop play. However, such is not the case, hence the unfortunate rule.
PS, it’s the same with goalies being subbed in. A new goalie used to get some warmups, but coaches abused this to get time outs, so the warmups went away.

Fri, 14 Mar 2014 04:12:31 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2320677#comment-291979I was more ticked about the non call on the goalie interference. Miller got completely spun around when an Oilers player clipped his leg (in the crease). Oh well… no harm done.

LGB!

Fri, 14 Mar 2014 04:11:41 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2320677#comment-291978Eventually a team full of young exciting players with potential has to do something otherwise they’re just a team that never was. If they need vets to teach the kids at this point then management needs to get them because finishing last every year shouldn’t be the goal.

Edmonton is supposedly 2-3 years ahead of Calgary in the rebuild yet Calgary is ahead of them in the standings and Calgary is playing 7 rookies a night right now and those players are playing well, maturing, competing (in the 20 games before beating Anaheim 7-2 last night the Flames had played 18 one goal games, the other 2 games were decided by 2 goals although one of those had an empty net goal) and winning some games.

And based on the way they’re giving out 6 year $6 million a year contracts to their young “stars” (Nugent Hopkins has come nowhere near deserving that contract so far) by the time the Oilers start competing (if they ever do) they’re going to have to start dealing players and retooling.

Fri, 14 Mar 2014 03:58:20 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2320677#comment-291975Yeah, a team full of young players. With hardly any veteran guidance. How on earth are they not the best team in the league? I mean, rookies come in to a team and most of them do very well. Could it be that they are surrounded by veteran players to give them tips and advice to develop their hockey skills? No….that couldn’t be possible, right?

Fri, 14 Mar 2014 03:22:56 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2320677#comment-291959Basically, the argument is that the long period he lay there motionless constitutes “a case where it’s obvious a player has sustained serious injury,” therefore the refs should have halted play. I think it’s a contentious point, but probably a fair one. He was down and clearly not moving for a pretty long time there. Just my opinion though. I don’t (and couldn’t) do their job, so I can’t judge their decisions too harshly.

Fri, 14 Mar 2014 03:18:27 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2320677#comment-291956Wow. Yeah, that should have been whistled down. Looks like a pretty bad lapse, but it’s easy to judge things like this from their result without considering what it was like in real time. Refs are human. Mistakes get made. I’m sure this is a sequence they’d like to do over if they had the chance.

It should also be said though that Joensuu did all he could to avoid it. Very unfortunate how it turned out. Did Jackman return to the game?

Fri, 14 Mar 2014 03:08:16 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2320677#comment-291953The Blues did not have possession. Why would they blow it down? Very unfortunate that he caught an accidental knee to the head and I hope he is ok. There is not much controversy, in my opinion.
